I want to get a head start in 11th grade by taking Applied Physics before Physics in 12th grade?

spookyooky asked:


By removing Forensic Science and replacing it with Applied physics then I would be able to get a head start in learning Physics before everyone in 11th grade. Because Physics is SUPER hard to learn in 12th grade and by taking applied Physics you can learn the basics.

Then in 12th grade I will take Physics and it would be a little bit easier to learn.

Is this a good idea and will college shine upon this?

wthrutalkingabout? asked:


I was given Chemistry SL for next year, but the thing is I am not that good at Chemistry. I passed with an 80 average. I have the choice to switch with someone for Biology SL, (which I had a 90 average) , and I am not sure if I should switch. I plan on being a radiologist, and so i would like to know, which is a better course? Chemistry or Biology?

Do you need to know physics or chemistry to become a doctor?

Hookie22 asked:


I’m in my final year at school and I am currently doing biology, and I want to go into medicine. I have been told that physics and chemistry is really important, especially in the university courses. Is this true?
So… I am hopeless at physics, chem and maths… haven’t done it for 2 years now. I always assumed biology was only recommended, and all the subjects at med school were totally different to what you learn in school. After all, here in Australia there are NO prerequisites for bachelor of medicine courses…

What are some major issues in either biology or education on which I can give a proposal?
I am a biology/education major. We have to present proposals on a solution to a problem in our field of study for my technical writing class. What is an issue in biology, education, or both which I can address with my proposal? Something with nice statistics I can graph would be great

How hard is high school accelerated chemistry compared to accelerated biology?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 | Biology | 3 Comments

tennisboy9123 asked:


I am a junior in high school and am going to take accelerated chemistry this year. I heard its a lot of math, and very conceptual based, rather than memorizing terms and facts in accelerated biology. I took accelerated biology, and didn’t think it was too bad, though I had to study hard.

It would be helpful if you could share your experiences with the two, and how they compare in difficulty.

Thanks

What is the chemistry of cat urine and how does hydrogen peroxide 3% work to get rid of the odor?

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009 | Chemistry | 1 Comment

Jon G asked:


I learned (and saw for myself) that hydrogen peroxide 3% plus baking soda and a drop of dish soap are an effective cat urine odor removal tool. What is the chemistry happening here and what am I leaving in my carpet after the reaction has finished and dried?
